2017 THE Explorer Group 2.0L Diesel · PO66 FNS

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 12 August 2025 at 29,227 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the mechanical and structural components have met DVSA standards without recurring failures or signs of progressive degradation over the last five years of recorded testing. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,247 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 16,333 miles and August 2025 at 29,227 miles, the car covered 12,894 miles over nearly three years. The recent jump of 7,561 miles since August 2024 shows a slight increase in usage compared to earlier years. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine, it also increases the risk of component perishation due to long periods of inactivity. Because the MOT record shows no past faults or structural advisories, a physical inspection should focus on items associated with low-mileage use. A buyer must check for flat spots on tyres, perished rubber suspension bushes, and seized brake calipers which often occur when a vehicle is not driven frequently. The underbody should be examined for surface corrosion that may have developed during storage, ensuring fluid seals remain intact despite the low odometer reading.
